The Stank of Pot Was Overwhelming.

I work as an admin assistant.

Yesterday, while receiving a package from a courier, I couldn't help but notice his very distinctive cologne: Eau De Mary Jane.

Now I don't care if you do crack cocaine in your bathroom on weekends. It's probably not a good idea, but it's none of my business.

But it is profoundly unprofessional to partake of substances during your working hours.

Especially if you're a courier DRIVER. And delivering to a CHILD care centre. There are parents coming in all the time with their children - what if they think it's coming from one of the employees?

I told the receptionist, and I think she is going to call the courier company and tell him that this driver in particular is not coming back.

I hate to be a narc, but it's bad enough this guy is driving while high, never mid while on the clock!

You did the right thing, no way in hell would I want somebody driving my loved ones around while they're high as a kite.

I did a return for an ambulance driver with that scent last year. However, it was on a Saturday, so he could well have been off the clock. As a return takes a half-hour or longer, I find it hard to believe that he was on duty.

Not to mention what MM said about customers thinking it may have come from them. That's messing with your business if you ask me. I know I'd remove my kid from a child care if I thought the employees were lighting up at work.

LINK to a story of a pretty local to me couple.

Seems they had a grow-uup set up over a day care that they ran.

I used to work as a substance abuse counselor. Most clients were smart enough not to show up wasted, but this one guy came in smelling SO bad of Mary Jane that I actually had to ask him to back up while I was telling him that I couldn't see him high, the scent was making me sick. He smelled so bad that after that 5 minute conversation, I SMELLED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY! As you can imagine, that was going over well in my sessions...OY!
